Pablo Picasso painting "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

Pablo Picasso is captured from behind while working on "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Shirtless, with his muscular back to the camera, he leans forward to apply paint to the large horizontal canvas. The complex, multi-figured Cubist composition is dominated by shades of blue, white, and black. Beneath the painting, a wooden shelf holds his supplies—bowls, tubes, and brushes—which cast a distinct shadow on the warm studio wall.
